No. Transcoding will generally be to H264 unless you have HEVC or AV1 enabled and it's supported by the client.
What you've described is not transcoding, it would be remuxing...if that. The reason transcoding is triggered in the first place is because the "c" of the "v" is incompatible with the client requesting to play that media. That is, the video codec is not playable on whatever device requested it.
Hardware acceleration is how to lower that load if you need transcoding. The other option is to ensure that all of your media is in a highly-compatible format (H264 main 8-bit, AAC 5.1 or stereo, MP4, external SRT subs).
